It used to be called DreamSpark, and it was awesome when I was in college - particularly since in those days, the Express, single-language free versions of VS hadn't come out quite yet, and the community edition was yet to be a twinkle in someone's eye.

It looks like they give away many Azure services now as well (https://catalog.imagine.microsoft.com/en-us)

I used the equivalent about 15 years ago and you could get windows, office, visual studio and a bunch of other stuff. Good deal.

Especially as you got 10 licences for everything. Was great value.

I believe they stopped it a year or two back.
